      Verdict

      HARB and Ikhtiraaq share ownership but Dane O’Neill sticks with the former having partnered Mark Johnston’s colt when runner-up over track and trip last month. He’s taken to go one better in this but the latter should also figure again having been narrowly beaten at Salisbury on his debut. The remainder have shown nothing so far to suggest they can get involved with Canmore perhaps best of them.
